This 2003 Aston Martin V12 Vanquish is finished in Midnight Blue over Caspian Blue and Cream Truffle Connolly leather upholstery, and has just 12,583 miles from new. According to the selling dealer, this is one of 1,492 460-horsepower Vanquish models built between 2001-2005 worldwide, and has been kept stock throughout. It was built in August 2003 and is powered by a naturally-aspirated 6.0-liter V-12 paired to a 6-speed automated-manual transmission. This Vanquish is now being offered in Houston, Texas with factory books, multiple keys and fobs, a car cover, factory accessories including the OEM umbrella, a clean Carfax, and a clean Arizona title.

Midnight Blue paint is detailed in the 150+ photo gallery below. The seller has provided extensive paint-meter pictures, and states that the majority of the finish remains original. The front bumper has been repainted due to road rash and a scratch on one of the rear quarter panels was professionally repainted years ago.

This Vanquish sits on OEM 19″ alloy wheels, which are currently mounted with a set of Yokohama AVS Sport tires, sized 255/40 front and 285/40 rear. Each corner is detailed up-close in the gallery.

Inside, the Caspian Blue and Cream Truffle Connolly leather upholstery is accented with blue carpets, color-matched floor mats, and silver trim on the center console and leather-wrapped steering wheel. The headliner is made from cross-stitched dark blue suede as pictured in the gallery.

Currently the digital odometer shows 12,583 miles, which is backed up by the Carfax.

Prior to this auction, the engine compartment and undercarriage were given a full steam-cleaning and detail. The 6.0-liter V-12 developed 460 horsepower at 6,500 rpm and 400 lb-ft of torque at 5,000 rpm, and helped the car achieve a top speed of approximately 190 mph according to Aston Martin. Power is controlled by a drive-by-wire throttle and sent rearward through a 6-speed electrohydraulic automated-manual transmission. Earlier this year, the car received a multi-point inspection from Scottsdale Aston Martin.

Underneath, Aston Martin employed heavy use of aluminum to improve aerodynamics. Additional undercarriage photos are displayed in the gallery below.

The accident-free Carfax states that this car was sold new in Florida, and moved to Ohio in 2012. It went to Iowa in 2015, back to Ohio in 2016, and landed in Arizona in early 2017 before the selling dealer’s purchase earlier this year. Consistent odometer readings and 37 service history records are also recorded. A video featuring this car can be viewed below:
